A semi truck jackknifed near the intersection of Penn Avenue on Interstate 494 east in Bloomington at about 9:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 23.

Minnesota State Patrol responded to the scene. A heavy-duty tow truck arrived to pull the truck away shortly before 10 a.m.

The scene was cleared by 10:30 a.m.

Eastbound traffic on the interstate was reduced to one lane from three, causing backups that stacked traffic beyond France Avenue exit on I-494.

Freezing sleet and snow from a massive cold front that snapped record high temperatures on Thanksgiving Day made many roads and highways difficult to navigate Friday morning, according to the state patrol.
